A white electronic Tesla Model X has caused a stir on social media in fuel-starved Zimbabwe, with people envious of the fact that the car can skip the long queues for petrol and diesel.
"Wow... someone owns a Tesla in Zim," wrote South-Africa-based Zimbabwean @_jimalo_ on Twitter.
Others however, mocked the car that was pictured on the back of a recovery vehicle for possibly trading one problem for another considering the country's problematic electricity supplies.
"Looks like it's broken down already, no diesel for generator to charge the car," wrote @rickinzim.
